Justin's sister Novella was complaining that we hadn't posted anything in a while, so Justin (and I) came up with this post. We posted "something new" and a fun picture for Novella. :)
There's a real new post below this one. :) This was just the opener for Novella.

Something New

Creative Block
We've had a little trouble being creative lately in the scrapbooking area, and looking at some old pictures tonight, I can see why. This first picture is what the room used to look like. Nice and open, lots of room, and light, and empty space. Then following this, you'll see some of the stuff that is on the desk, and around the desk now. I'm thankful that I don't have a picture of what it looks like today from this same angle, because lets face it, its frightening! I'm thankful, very thankful, for all the wonderful papers and supplies that we have, I just wish they were displayed and organized in a more eye appealing way, because right now its kind of overwhelming. I'm not really sure what to do to fix it, but looking at what the room used to be, I can definitely see what we need to!
Above is the before. Below is a storage piece we used to keep next to the desk.
My side of the scrapping desk, and the book case in front of the window.

New quilt
I'm working on a new quilt, to hang on the stairs, above the entryway. See, we need a quilt there because the dogs, or the cat, always open the upstairs bathroom door, when someone is in the bath tub, and then that door, and consequently the bath tub, look straight out onto the driveway and highway. Not so fun. So I've been working on this project for a few years, and I'm finally getting back to is. The outer blocks are done, and as of today the center panel is done. A few borders, and some connecting work, and it'll be done. But for now, here is the center panel. I cut out, and appliqued and embroidered it all. The mountain is about 5 shades of purple fabric (batik), and its embroidered in a hollowshimmer thread so it sparkles. Very fun! Can't wait to finish it this week.Posted by Alicia and Justin Clark at 10:40 PM 2 comments
